a spring shower brings May flowers ...thank God!

My bleeding heart will tell on me...Dicentra spectabilis

 Sometimes it comes to a point when you say enough is enough....when things no longer serve you...no matter how alive, beautiful or the potential. I had some miniature camellias that I refused to give up on...Although they grew large.and even  when I sprayed them, they hardly ever bloomed and were constantly covered in white fly. Like a cancer it spread. Until One day I lost it and took the SUV and yanked them out. I know, it's cruel plant murder,but now  knockouts are in their place and will get their chance. I have been known to take pity on plants and people and have salvaged many a plant from certain death. Plants like people require a good match....and when you find the ones that fit in your landscape, it can be a glorious thing.

There must be light and shadow in the garden....night and day......evil and good..drought and flood..When we culturize  we lose  Eden. The garden is a metaphor of Life. We must balance the Yin and the Yang. Unless you love and accept someones shadow too,you really don't love  the whole person. The garden of life is everchanging and if you put in sweat equity and love, karma will bring you joy to balance the sadness.
